Tim,
Rene has pointed you to get rid of this error but just in case you would
like to use sendmail to really send mail from your AW to your personal
email adress here's a procedure how to set this up.
I once gathered all the info found in previous topics in this procedure.
Enable email from your AW to your mail server
Your AW must be connected via the second ethernet port to your corporate
LAN and your mail server MUST have the SMTP protocol enabled. Ask your
IT department for help.
Add the IP address and the name of the mail server to the /etc/hosts
file.
Your /etc/hosts file may look like this.
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hw1197
10.32.11.210 foxtools
10.155.18.87 smtpmail.yourhost.com mailhost

Make sure you add `mailhost` after the IP address and the name of your
mail server.
The order should be: IP address<tab>NAME_OF_YOUR_MAILSERVER<tab>mailhost
Try to ping your mailhost.
1AWE01# ping mailhost
smtpmail.yourhost.com is alive
If you did not succeed, check your connection to the LAN.
Check if the sendmail daemon is running.
1AWE01# ps -ef |grep sendmail
root 990 1 0 Aug 13 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m
If the sendmail daemon is not running, start it manually.
1AWE01# cd /etc/rc2.d
1AWE01# S88sendmail start
Try to telnet to the mailhost via TCP/IP port 25.
1AWE01# telnet mailhost 25
Trying 10.155.18.87...
Connected to smtpmail.yourhost.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ips-dc87-xch.yourhost.com ESMTP Server (Microsoft Exchange Internet
Mail Service 5.5.2657.72) ready
Type HELO and the mailhost should return with 250 OK.
HELO
250 OK
Type QUIT to close your telnet session.
QUIT
221 closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
If you do not succeed in the precedent steps, contact your IT
department. Maybe a router has been put in between your AW and the
mailhost.
Check what's printed on the screen if you sent a "debug mail". If the
output is similar to the one down here your mail server has SMTP
enabled.

However, if I try the same via a non SMTP enabled mail server you'll see
the following. In this case ask your IT people to enable SMTP on the
mail server if possible.

Finally you can try to sent an email to your personal mail address.
# mailx -s "test mail server" yourmailadres@xxxxxxxxxx </etc/hosts
This will sent the contents of the /etc/hosts file to
yourmailadres@xxxxxxxxxx with " test mail server" in the subject field.
If you can send an email to somebody in your domain but you can't (and
would like) sent an email to an external email address check your
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. The most important settings are:
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
CP.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmailhost.$m
